From what I know ATS doesn't run such ads (then again I'm only a mod not an admin.)
Do you run any anti-spyware programs such as ad-aware or spyware doctor? I think you might be infected with a hijacker.

i hate viruse i had spyware on my computer once and it wasnt funny it downloaded porn, gambling ads, pictures of cars????(dunno y) and loads of
different sites to do loans and banks and i know nothing to do with debugging computers so i had to get me stepdad to come see what was up with it yep
that was rather embarrasing if it is a virus get rid of it befor you have to explain y theirs all this crap on yur computer lol

Thanks guys, and thanks D4rk Kn1ght for pointing me in the right direction. I didn't think my PC could get infected, I use spy-bot, but it didn't
seem to pick it up. I'm downloading the software to remove it right now and will post back with the results.

It was stupid of me thinking that I was immune, and blaming ATS. I am sorry for this, an apologize.

Hmmmmm.... not for me im afraid. downloaded it, installed it, kicked my pc into next week for a few hours trying to disable the stupid bloom 'you are
downloading / have downloaded box', deleted it, had to reinstall windows because it wouldnt delete fully, swore a few times at god, the universe and
every thing, and then started all over again.

BUT..... long story short every thing was backed up to disk and i lost nothing bar some pieces of small furniture and a lot of karama.

Macafees, spyware emergency, windows washer and Hijack this. Im safe as can be with my little box of windows magic.

Just glad I could help.

Ummmm and on another note, when i downloaded from vipernet, I...got no pop ups??!!?? wtf??? hahahahahahaha

Problem fixed. It definitely was spy-ware. Thank to all who replied quickly with help. And thanks for moving the thread, maybe the title could also be
changed to something like "Systemdoctor Infected my Computer!"

I think this was caused by ATS. I had exactly the same infection - and it happened more or less at the time of the Virus/Trojan alert on Board
Business. Of course I don't have absolute proof of this, but I've been struggling for ages to get it off my system.
